OVERVIEW
ULTRA18 ‘S Magnesium Glycinate is formulated to support optimal nerve function, muscle contractions,
cardiovascular, bone health, and decreased anxiety.
Magnesium is one of the most important nutrients for human health and is often called the “miracle mineral.”
Norman Shealy, medical doctor and leading expert in pain management states,” Every known illness is
associated with a magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability
of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more diseases than any other
nutrient.”
In fact, over 70 % of Americans are deficient in magnesium and often can cause muscle cramps. Insomnia,
fibromyalgia, irregular heart rhythms, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, premenstrual
syndrome, personality changes, anxiety, fatigue and weakness, fibromyalgia, vertigo, and seizures.
MAGNESIUM, ANXIETY, AND SLEEP
Magnesium is essential electrolyte for optimal parasympathetic nervous system activity and to induce restful
solid sleep. In fact, most sleep deprivation is correlated to a magnesium deficiency and high levels of the stress
hormone cortisol. High anxiety levels are often correlated to lack of parasympathetic nervous system activity
and over stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, the fight or flight response of the body during stressful
events.
Magnesium is vital for immune health by stimulating the creation of lymphocytes and regulating the proteins
that transport vitamin D throughout the body. Magnesium is vital for immune health due to the impact it has on
the body’s ability to detoxify heavy metals and toxins. In addition, magnesium regulates the production of the
master antioxidant, L-Glutathione.
